That is the error, do you have details on how you installed it?  or did you use the offline installer? And your conda location is pretty obscure

[PhilipHughes]

Hi dan

Conda install –c esri arcgis from admin command prompt.

Conda was installed from the x64 download, default intall

[DanPatterson_Retired]

check the two links... you were responding when I undated with the direct api link

EDIT

here is where you can install through your conda environment . I accessed this through PRO.  And I installed PRO in C:\ArcGISPro

[PhilipHughes]

uninstalling now,  installed from the developer site,  installer works fine on a virtual machine,  however my machine obviously has problem.  I have ArcGIS 10.5 installed (as upgrades) and ArcGIS pro 1.4,  there obvious numerous version of python, hence suspect the location is the default with pro.

[DanPatterson_Retired]

use the package manager, it gets things right

[PhilipHughes]

That what I thought I had done,  am obviously missing something.

[DanPatterson_Retired]

The package manager is accessable at the python link from the project screen under Python (or access through the bottom left about link when first opening pro).  If you have multiple versions of python that could be an issue if the installations for arcmap (python 2.7) and PRO (3.5) don't know about each other or aren't properly set up.  I don't know if that is the default path for your installation, but I wouldn't use conda command line install unless you are familiar with it and have full admin access to your machine (can't tell from the error).  esri's installers handle things well even if you chose a different install directly (which I always do)

[PhilipHughes]

Thank you

Uninstalled python 3.6 and pointed to the arcgis pro version (3.5.2), followed the developer install guide (using the command prompt) as standalone. Then did the same in arcgis pro.

cheers

If you want python 3.6 then install a separate anaconda version from continuum... here is the link I installed everything in an Anaconda43 folder so I can do everything non-Arc*** related in a clean separate installation.  Of course this is only useful if you want to use the latest versions of numpy, scipy, matplot lib and install other things like 'r', r-studio, orange, fusion, glueviz etc.  BTW, you should start using Spyder as your python IDE it is pretty great (check my blog).

Clean and separate... disk space is cheap and I have had no conflicts between esri's install and a pure continuum install.

The Navigator will look different for the continuum version.. a tad newer, but I don't know if PRO 2.0 will be using it or not
